Join us for the latest axSpA podcast brought to you by the CSF! This month Dr Sofia Ramiro, consultant rheumatologist and senior researcher at Leiden University Medical Centre and Zuyderland Medical Centre, is joined once again by experts with a wealth of clinical knowledge. Joining her is Hideto Kameda, Professor of Internal Medicine at Toho University as well as Atul Deodhar, Professor of Medicine and Medical Director of Rheumatology Clinics in the Division of Arthritis & Rheumatic Diseases at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, USA. Also joining this insightful group is Xenofon Baraliakos, Professor of Internal Medicine and Rheumatology at the Ruhr-University in Bochum, and Medical Director of the rheumatology centre Rheumazentrum Ruhrgebiet in Herne, Germany In the first paper discussed, the authors compared the efficacy and safety of bimekizumab with biologic/targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs in nr-axSpA and AS. Our second paper then goes on to identify distinct clinical clusters based on patient demographics and baseline clinical indicators from the clinical development programme of secukinumab in patients with a variety of rheumatological conditions.

Welcome to RNN Café to informally discuss topics of interest for radiology. In this episode focus is on workflow interruptions and a possible solution: RadConnect. Special guests are Kenneth Hergaarden, PhD-Student at the Cardio Vascular Imaging Group (CVIG), Department of Radiology, Leiden University Medical Centre, The Netherlands and Merlijn Sevenster, Royal Philips, The Netherlands. We discuss the effects of workflow interruptions on our work as radiologists, based on a recent publication by Shah et al. from the Nationwide Children's Hospital, Columbus, OH, USA entitled 'Workflow Interruptions and Effect on Study Interpretation Efficiency' (https://doi.org/10.1067/j.cpradiol.2022.06.003). Next a potential solution to the problem is discussed: 'RadConnect' a tool in development for asynchronous communication between radiology technicians and radiologists, later to be extended to other medical professionals as 'MedConnect'.

Type 2 diabetes is a complex systems disease, caused by interactions between lifestyle and genes. It is an illusion to believe that it can be cured by medication. Lifestyle change should always be at the heart of treatment. Hanno Pijl is an internist-endocrinologist and professor of Diabetology at the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) In Leiden, The Netherlands. He co-authored over 250 papers in peer reviewed scientific journals, primarily related to obesity and type 2 diabetes. He has been a member of the Dutch Health Council (standing committee on nutrition) from 2008-2016. He currently co-chairs the Dutch Innovation center for Lifestyle Medicine (www.nilg.eu), a joint effort of LUMC and the Dutch Organisation of Applied Science (TNO) focusing on lifestyle interventions in health care. Esther van Zuuren is a dermatologist at the Leiden University Medical Centre, but apart from that and more relevant for now is that her expertise lies in Evidence Based Medicine. She has been with Cochrane for almost 20 years, has held the position of Key Editor and Methods editor for Cochrane Skin group for several years and conducted over 30 systematic reviews on a wide variety of topics. Furthermore, she is member of the GRADE working group, is a Recommendations Editor for DynaMed Plus (clinical evidence-based reference tool for clinicians) and Associate Editor for Systematic Reviews for the British Journal of Dermatology. In our 20 min conversation we discuss Dietary advice for people with type 2 diabetes The importance of other lifestyle measures Effects of lifestyle intervention in clinical practice Patient preferences
Contrary to the long held contention that low fat diets are best for people with type 2 diabetes (DM2), the totality of current evidence suggests that low carb diets are at least as effective in ameliorating metabolic health in DM2. In fact, low carb seems to be somewhat better, particularly in the short to medium term, although the evidence is of moderate certainty. On this week’s episode Prof Hanno Pijl (@HannoPijl) and dr Esther van Zuuren (@Ezzoef) join Dr Aseem Malhotra (@DrAseemMalhotra) to discuss the most appropriate diet for people with DM2 Hanno Pijl is an internist-endocrinologist and professor of Diabetology at the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) In Leiden, The Netherlands.

Immunotherapy has been approved for several indications in Oncology, resulting in an increasing number of physicians that use it to treat their patients. In this podcast, Teresa Amaral, member of the ESMO YOC, interviews Professor John Haanen (Head of the Division of Medical Oncology and Staff Scientist in the Division of Immunology; Professor of Translational Immunotherapy of Cancer at Leiden University Medical Centre, the Netherlands) on the topic: “Questions asked in everyday practice: Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors”. Currently, there is no consensus about how long should we treat patients with immunotherapy and the optimal duration might also be different considering the tumor type (e.g. melanoma, NSCLC). In some patients, stopping early due to adverse events doesn’t seem to be detrimental, but the follow-up time is still short to make definitive assumptions. When treating a patient with a previous autoimmune disease, several aspects need to be considered, namely, which type of immunosuppression is the patient receiving now, in which dosage and how long has the autoimmune disease been stable. Patients that received a solid organ transplant pose an extra challenge. For patients that develop grade 4 autoimmune adverse events, re-treatment with immunotherapy should be extensively discussed. In case of severe autoimmune toxicity that does not respond to the treatments referred in the guidelines, and if the treating physician is not experienced with escalating immunosuppressive therapy, consultation with other centers with more familiarity and expertise on this topic should be considered.
